IBM Security Guardium 10/10.5 Password Storage Salt cryptographic issue

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in IBM Security Guardium 10/10.5 (Policy Management Software). This affects an unknown code of the component Password Storage. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cryptographic issue vulnerability (Salt). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-310. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

IBM Security Guardium 10 and 10.5 uses a one-way cryptographic hash against an input that should not be reversible, such as a password, but the software does not also use a salt as part of the input. IBM X-Force ID: 124743.

The bug was discovered 12/11/2018. The weakness was shared 12/13/2018 by ryan with IBM X-Force (Website). The advisory is shared at exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2017-1268 since 11/30/2016. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 06/18/2023). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future.MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1600 for this issue.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at SecurityFocus (BID 106339†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
